And sudden past the headland, thro' the cloud

The Useful Maguey Plant.

At Ozumba. where the road begins
to descend, we breakfasted very well
for so cents in a rude shanty, on eggs,
rice, beefsteak, three or four other
kinds of meats and stews, sweets, pull
que, and black coffee, says Charles
Dudley Warner, writing on Mexico in
Harper's MagGSi,ae. The pulque is
best in these high regions. 1t is Wis
cous milk-white fluid, very wholesome
and sustaining, and would be a most
agreeable drink if it tasted good" In
fact it tastes, when it has been a few
days fermented, like mixture of but
termilk and sour cider. But many
strangers become very fond Eof it.
The older it grows the more intoxicat-
ing it is. As the reader knows, proba-
bly,, it is drawn from the maguey
plant, called by US the century"
which grows on these elevations to a
great size, and is the cleanest-limbed
and most vigorous and wholesome
looking product of the region. When
1t natures it shoots up stout spike ten
or twenty feet high from the center,
bearing brilliant orange flowers.
When the plant is ready to tap the CEN
ter stalk is cut out, and the sap collects
in the cup thus formed. 1t is dipped
out or sucked out by tube, and when
first drawn is mild, cool, and refresh
ing. In about three days it begins to
ferment. As it is often carried to
market on the backs of natives in pig
or goat skins it gets a disagreeable
flavor. The maguey plant has many
uses. 1t is eaten cut up and preserved
like melon rinds. Its long, tough fiber

terminates in a hard, sharp, black
thorn. Break off this thorn and strip
down the fibers attached to it, and you
have capital needle and thread for
coarse sewing. The muleteers use it
to mend their saddles and broken
harnessstraps. What encouragement
is there to industry when nature
furnishes in one plant drink, food,
needles and thread and a rope for
